BACKGROUND

Currently various content management systems, document management systems, output channel systems, and workflow management tools are being employed in business enterprises for providing different output channels and archival system capabilities. The output channels are required for sending communications to customers of such business enterprises. In order to meet the ever-growing needs of the customers in terms of newer output channel features such as workflows and pre and post processing and newer output formats such as mime messages, calendar invites, tasks, efax and appointments, the architecture of the various content management systems, document management systems, output channel systems, and workflow management tools undergo considerable changes. As a result, in an instance a large business enterprise may have multiple content management systems and document management systems, each having a lot of custom code, to integrate. In contrast a smaller business enterprise may have to revamp existing content management systems due to architectural change.

Further, each content management system, document management system, output channel system, and workflow management tool provides its own proprietary API. In order for such proprietary API to match the customers' needs completely customization is required. Traditionally, each customer may customize the content management system or the document management system in a tightly coupled manner, thereby leading to limitations in integrating the various content management systems that differ in architecture. For instance, combining disparate contents from the various content management systems to generate a Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) message such as email, calendar and efax, is a hindrance when the content management systems are customized in the tightly coupled manner. Hence there is a need for a system and method that can integrate the different content management systems, document management systems, output channel systems and workflow management tools in order to dynamically generate the mime message of any form. The method and system must enable extending the existing capabilities of the Content Management Systems, the document management systems and the output channel systems in a generic manner such that the underlying system can be easily replaced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Disclosed embodiments provide computer-implemented methods, systems, and computer-program products for integrating a plurality of information systems such as content management systems, document management systems, output channel systems, and workflow management tools and extending their existing capabilities in a generic manner in order to generate a mime message in any form. The methods disclosed herein, incorporate a metadata XML template to be utilized for extracting existing static content and dynamic content required for generating the MIME message. The metadata XML template includes one or more keys for each of the static content and dynamic content that indicates the information system from where the static content and dynamic content is to be extracted in what order and concatenated in which manner to generate the MIME message

FIG. 1 is a flowchart that illustrates a method performed in integrating a composite message from the plurality of information systems in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

At step 102, a request to communicate the composite message is received by a processor module from any networked system or a user. In an embodiment, the request can include one or more keys of a set of dynamic content to be included within the composite message and a key of a metadata XML object. At step 104, a key of a metadata XML object is extracted by the processor module, along with one or more keys of a set of dynamic content, that are passed within the request. The metadata XML object basically contains an identifier of a Content Management System (CMS) that stores a metadata template. The identifier of the CMS is read by the processor module from a property file that stores the metadata XML object, at step 106. The retrieved identifier of the CMS is passed by the processor module to one of one or more content assemblers in order to retrieve the metadata template. At step 108, the content assembler retrieved the metadata template from the CMS. The metadata template can include one or more keys of one or more static content required for generating the composite message. In an embodiment, the one or more keys can include one or more identifiers of the one or more CMS that store the one or more static content. At step 110, the one or more content assemblers to which the one or more keys of the one or more static content are passed, can retrieve the one or more static content from the one or more CMS. At step 112, one or more child content assemblers of the one or more content assemblers, that are created based on an inheritance policy, retrieve the set of dynamic content, from a repository based on the one or more keys of the dynamic content that were passed with the request. At step 114, the one or more child content assemblers merge the set of dynamic content with the retrieved one or more static content, individually to generate separate one or more message parts. The generated one or more message parts are passed by the processor module to a MIME message generator, that concatenates the one or more message parts to generate the composite message at step 116. The generated one or more message parts are concatenated on the basis of a sequential identifier, that is read from the metadata template, retrieved at step 108. The generated composite message is further communicated to an output channel adapter to transform the generated composite message into an output format as specified by an output format identifier present in the metadata template. Instances of the output format include, email, efax, calendar invites, appointment, and other types of messages. The generated composite message is further sent to a DMS adapter for archival in the one or more DMS. Further, the metadata template includes a part type identifier for each of the one or more static contents, which indicates whether a static content is a ‘Multipart’ or a ‘Single Part’. In an embodiment, a ‘Multipart’ static content can be retrieved from a DMS, whereas a ‘SinglePart’ static content can be retrieved from a CMS or a DMS. Further, a content type identifier of the metadata template indicates whether the generated composite message is preferably a ‘Multipart’ or a ‘SinglePart’ type of message. In an instance where, the content type identifier, equals ‘Multipart’, the retrieved static content is segregated and stored into one or the one or more message parts, as a ‘Multipart’ composite message usually has dynamic content to be embedded.

FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary system 200 in which various embodiments of the invention can be practiced. The exemplary system includes a networked system 202, a processor module 204, one or more content assemblers 206, one or more child content assemblers 222, a storage module 230, a message generator 216, an output channel adapter 218, one or more Content Management System (CMS) adapters 208, one or more Document Management System (DMS) adapters 214, one or more Content Management Systems (CMS) 210, one or more Document Management Systems (DMS) 212, a property file 220 and a repository 224.

In an embodiment the processor module 204 is configured to receive a request 226 to communicate a composite message 228 from a networked system 202. The networked system 202 could be any client network initiating the request 226 to send a composite message such as a MIME message including an Email, calendar invites, efax, tasks, appointments and the like. The request 226 can be in the form of an XML file, http request, a web service or a flat file. The request 226 can include one or more keys of a set of dynamic content required to be included in the MIME message and a key of a metadata XML object. The one or more keys of the dynamic content can include a file name, path name of a folder structure and a data source of the dynamic content, from where the dynamic content can be fetched. The data source of the dynamic content can be a repository 224 such as a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file, an XML file, or a database. The key of the metadata XML object can include an identifier of a content management system (CMS) 210 that stores a metadata template or a metadata file. The identifier of the CMS 210 that stores the metadata template is read by the processor module 204 from a property file 120. In an embodiment the CMS 210 can be a Metadata Store that stores a set of metadata templates. The identifier of the CMS 210 is communicated by the processor module 204 to a content assembler 206. The content assembler 206 then retrieves the metadata template stores in the CMS 210. The metadata template can contain one or more keys of one or more static content required for generating the MIME message. The one or more keys of the one or more static content can include the path name of the Folder structure of the one or more static content, in an embodiment where the one or more static content is stored in a data server. In an alternate embodiment the one or more keys of the one or more static content can include one or more identifiers of the one or more CMS 210 or one or more identifiers of the one or more DMS 212 that store the one or more static content. In the alternate embodiment the one or more keys can further include the one or more identifiers of the one or more static content in each of the one or more CMS 210. The content assembler 206 then retrieves the one or more static content based on the one or more keys as retrieved from the metadata template, in an iterative manner. The one or more keys are communicated to the content assembler 206 by the processor module 204. For instance for a first key of a first static content the content assembler 206 may retrieve the first static content, and then invoke a child content assembler 222, on the basis of an inheritance policy, to retrieve a first dynamic content of the set of dynamic content, from the repository 224, where the first dynamic content is preferably dynamic data that needs to be incorporated in the first static content. The retrieved first dynamic content is merged with the first static content to generate a message part. Similarly, for a second key of a second static content, the content assembler 206 may retrieve the second static content, and then invoke the child content assembler 222 to retrieve a second dynamic content from the set of dynamic content, and so on. Each of the generated message parts are stored in a storage module 230. The metadata template can further include a sequential identifier that indicates the sequence in which the one or more message parts is to be merged while generating the composite message. A MIME message generator 216 can concatenate the generated one or more message parts, based on the sequential identifier, to generate the composite message. The processor module 204 can call an output channel adapter 218 for communicating the generated output message into an output channel.

The metadata template can further include a part type identifier which indicates a type of each of the one or more static content, an output format identifier that indicates an output format in which the composite message is required to be generated by the MIME message generator 216. Instances of the output format can include email, calendar, efax, appointment, message, and calendar invites. The output channel adapter 218 can be programmed to transform the generated composite message into the output format as desired. The output format shall correspond to the output channel via which the generated composite message shall be communicated. In the disclosed embodiment the metadata template can include a content type identifier indicating whether the generated composite message is a ‘Multipart’ message or a ‘SinglePart’ Message. In an instance where the content type identifier equals ‘Multipart’ the static content that is retrieved from one or the one or more CMS 210 is segregated and stored in a separate message part. In an instance where the content type identifier equals ‘SinglePart’ the static content is stored within a single message part. A CMS adapter 208 can take care of communication protocols required for communication with each of the one or more CMS 210. Each CMS of the one or more CMS 210 can have a CMS adapter 208 as an interface for communication. Instances of communication protocols can include, asynchronous messaging, java messaging services, http and the like. Similarly a DMS adapter 214 can take care of communication protocols required for communication with each of the one or more DMS 212. The DMS adapter 214 can be called by the processor module 204 for archiving generated composite message into an associated DMS of the one or more DMS 212.
